PER CURIAM
Jaime Jordan Ybarra was convicted of eluding a peace officer, Idaho Code § 49-1404(2).
Ybarra appealed his conviction, arguing that the district court erred when it allowed the jury to
hear testimony that he was the “subject” or “person of interest” in an ongoing criminal
investigation. In response, the State argued that Ybarra’s appellate claim had been waived by
trial counsel. In Ybarra’s reply brief, he conceded that his claim was not preserved for appellate
consideration and expressly withdrew the issue. Given Ybarra’s express withdrawal of his sole
issue on appeal, we will conduct no further review. Thus, Ybarra’s judgment of conviction is
affirmed.
